One of the most challenging parts of caring for a child and a home at the same time is finding harmony between the two. You don't want your child to have to walk on eggshells, or your home to be a constant mess, but the two seem pretty exclusive. Well, here's your harmony: 10 cute and creative ways to add custom organization to your home that will make cleanup fun and keep your child's toys, clothes, and other belongings safely stowed when not in use.

Instead of papering the wall with drawings, or worse, finding them all over every surface, create a designated spot to hang and display weekly favorites.

Instead of keeping all the balls, sticks, and gloves in a basket that has to be constantly dumped out and cleaned up, store sports supplies in a movable container that you can take where you need.
5. Hang a cute coat rack to clear the floor

If your child just isn't feeling that boring store bought coatrack, give them a look they like, like this farm puzzle upcycle, to encourage them to keep coats and sweaters hung up.
6. Design fun storage for toiletries
